"Tromatism was a french punk band formed by Loran (formerly a member of Bérurier Noir and also Ze6). The band was famous for their live theatrical performances and on-stage visual arts. While using some esoteric musical elements like drum machines, violins and flutes combined with anarcho punk influence, the band sounded hardcore and its lyrics had an emphasis on politics, particularly issues like veganism, ecology, vivisection, anti-violence, colonialism and homosexuality. They played in squats and defended such a way of life and existence by participating in open resistance against eviction and government intrusion.The group was active between 1993 to 1998, going on numerous tours and releasing two EPs (titled "K7 live" in 1993 and "Je ne veux plus avoir mal", roughly translated to "I don't want to suffer any longer" in 1994) and one full length LP in 2000 (titled "Une saison en enfer", roughly translated to "A season in hell). Apparently the LP is still readily obtainable in Bourges, France (We doubt this! -jon active) where the singer is said to still reside and is actively involved in the punk scene.

Tromatism split in 1999 but individual members of the group are still active in the French punk, music and art community as phenominal musicians,performers and respected political punks."(Info from Active distribution web site)

This is one of the best French band that I ever saw live, their performances were just stunning and powerful leaving the audience in an haze of astonishment and joy.Tribal electro punk with many messages,I am including here some videos as I think you should really watch their live actions.A wikipedia page in French is here.This lp is a great release too.

Small yet genial fanzine with lots of weird drawings, comics and short stories by various contributors writing from different angles of this planet. If I don`t fail it was assembled by Lee Stokoe noise artist already covered in this blog for his work as Culver and his personal small label Matching Head.

Here thecassetteby this new and interesting project hailing from Umeå, Sweden!Hand-numbered and limited to 20 copies this tape comes with an on-tape-only version of "Wer will Gott lehren, der auch die Hohen richtet?". Other tracks are slightly dubbed and mixed to fit the tape length.3 different cover sleeves available.

Music for forgotten chambers, meditative sequences, and minimal passages circle us in world of mistery and magical aura. Here a note from the Olof, the musician who recorded this astonishing tape on the 20th of June 2017.

"Erdig" is one of my side projects. "Digre" is my main act. Erdig is Dungeon Noise or Dungeon Synth with noisier parts. I make the melodies with my keyboard and computer and record it to cassette tape. Then I go out and record nature or town noises on my portable tape recorder. When I have all the material I want I go into the studio and mix it all together by overdubbing or through my porta-studio. The album/tape caller "Hiob" are mixed only through overdubbing. It is when I have two cassette players connected to a mixer and records it all to a third tape. then if I want to add a new layer I just run it all over again through that same setup. When I do music for my main projcect (digre.bandcamp.com) I use cleaner sounds and never mix like that. I make that all inside the computer like chiptune with famitracker. but with Erdig I make it much more dirty with field recordings and reverb and effects like that, analog and cable-tricks and all that. Erdig is German and translates to "earthy" or maybe "earth like" and while "Digre" is made to be heavenly Erdig is made to be more earthy and the themes are prophets of the Old Testament. I am working on Jonah for my next Erdig-tape. And Hiob is german for Job. From the Book of Job,"

After this introduction I can only suggest you to visit hisbandcamp pageto listen his amazing music and/or buy his precious cassette.

Astonishing demo by this Italian band hailing from Sardinia and playing a raw form of speed metal, they formed in 1983 and disbanded in 1996. It seems they have released a full-length album in 2012 namedI Saw The Fire.

This is definitely an exquisite example of the First Wave Of Italian Heavy Metal, probably pretty rare too.

Very good literary magazine created by the students of West Coast Community College in the USA during spring 1995.Lots of writers, poets and the like give their contribution to this excellent collection of short stories, poetries, fiction and illustration.

To complete this post I am attaching here a review taken from The News Herald published in November 1995 that give us lots of info about this project.

This is the flyer that E.A.---this ghost collective already covered many times in this blog--- released to promote its 10 years anniversary tape, a compilation of songs taken from the other tape-works released previously.It was compiled by Raff during the summer 1999 and then released by Iason on his cool label 1000+1 Tilt in Greece at the end of the same year.

This tape seems to be the documentation of a gig happened in Lahti(Finland) on the 8th of May 1994.All Finnish bands, the most of them from Lahti.They play a low-fi rock`n` roll with different variations/influences.

On the cover sleeve, there are listed 2 labels JW/R recs and Raippa Records, it doesn`t seem very easy to find any info about those small and very probably Finnish labels.

Get it if you are into weird rock, underground bands, and lo-fi recordings.

ps-only for Finnish people, in the cover sleeve, appears a note with few lines about this recording, if you get more info from it then please leave a comment.

Number 25 and number 27 of this Swiss punk zine released by the label Resistance Productions.I already posted few issues of this fanzines and lots of other productions released by this small yet very lively and totally DIY and anarchist label based in Zurich first and then relocated to Biel. It was managed by Fritze F.T.S., Pablo Van Paz ,Sämy Soyahead, Oli and Lara.They were active from 1988 to 1998.

In these small fanzines lots of interesting articles,interviews,reviews and more political messages.

Two great tools to research the amazing international punk scene of that era.

Classic split 10inch with the demos,recorded in the 80s by those two brutal punk bands.Generic is an hardcore punk band from Newcastle, UK, active from 1985 to 1989.In this demo they assault us with spazzed out vocals and raw hardcore punk.Micky and Sned from this band went on to form the amazing One By One.

On the other side we`ll find an uncompromising attack by Pleasant Valley Children. Hailing from Leeds, PVC plays a kind of chaos-core with the demonically possessed vocals of Pig, there’s
never a danger that this is going to turn into a pleasant or safe
listening experience.

Here the fifth number of this legendary Italian fanzine focusing on industrial music, politics, arts and other interesting issues.In this number, a long article about Jenet, a discussion about university and politics, Nurse With Wound(the band), an interview to Coil, an article about depression,some poetries, few short stories, Test Dept interview and Joy Divison lyrics, Come Organisation and other great messages + astonishing graphic works.

This number came out with a split tape with two good acts:F.A.R.(Italian Industrial prime-movers, led by Mauro Guazzotti (later known as MGZ).and Ritmo Tribale (Italian Alternative Rock band from Milano formed in the mid 80's and disbanded around 2000.)

This is a classic of the Italian Industrial scene from the wonderful 80s.Do not miss it if you can read Italian language and if you don`t then you can always enjoy the music.

Notice to the readers of this blog and all the artists.

After 3 years of active collaboration with 3 different blogs(radiomolotov,misterioso impossivel,vita ignes corpus lignum) I decided to open my own blog.

My aim is to talk about obscure and rare productions which I accomulated in my personal collection.Some stuff is mine,some other produced by good friends of mine,some other by bands/artists whom I do not know by person.I am only posting here very old stuff that it`s not available now days.

If you are one of those artists and you are not happy to see your tape here then send me a shout and I will remove it as soon as possible.My aim is to get out there this old music that is otherwise forgotten.

If one day I will post some new productions it means that those productions will be by friends of mine whom gave me permission to do so.

Also I will post some of my music or copy art-works,zines,videos and the like!!In future I might re-post some stuff that I donated to the blogs listed above,after all some is my music and all of them are my original rips.

Any questions about my activities here?? Please use the shout box to chat with me.
